Biography
Born in Morocco in 1956 where I contract polio at the age of 6 months. I've been in a wheelchair ever since.
I'm haunted by bodies and faces in twisting, see in destruction. I'm probably expressing what I know. But paradoxically I don't suffer, it gives me food for creativity.
My work focuses on mixtures of materials: acrylic/scotch, paper/scotch, clay/iron wire/cloth. With an immoderate taste for "black and black" and “black and white".
